The Plus range was a very interesting idea both on paper and in the flesh, but Amstrad's turbo-boosted 8-bit systems --despite the cartridge ports, 4096 colors palettes, sprite handling chips, and all sorts of other extras-- could never compete with the reigning Amigas and STs. Still, the Plus machines make lovely retro micros today, and you can grab a finely preserved, cleaned, tested, and fully working one via this Amstrad 464 PluseBay auction.
